Pork balls are a savory meat preparation commonly found in Asian cuisine, particularly in Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese dishes. Made with ground pork, they often include seasonings like garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sometimes breadcrumbs or starch to bind the mixture. Herbs such as cilantro or green onions may also be added to enhance flavor. Pork balls are versatile, served in soups, stir-fries, or as appetizers. Nutritionally, they offer protein, important for muscle repair and growth, but can also be high in fat depending on the cut of pork used. Sodium content can be significant due to the inclusion of soy sauce and other seasoning agents, which may be a concern for individuals monitoring blood pressure. When consumed in moderation or prepared with lean pork and reduced-sodium ingredients, pork balls can be a satisfying addition to a balanced diet.
